i feel like there’s been a rly dangerous trend lately of seeing characters being Not Perfect and labeling it as abuse.  like.  abuse is a vicious cycle with a power imbalance.  you can be mean and not abusive.  you can be manipulative and not abusive.  you can be toxic and not abusive.  and it’s honestly making me nervous how quick people are to jump to it lately, even when its just about cartoon discourse.
